Special Needs: Objective Reality or Personal Construction? Judging Reading Difficulty after the Code of Practice.
Thomas, Gary; Davis, Pauline
Educational Research, v39 n3 p263-70 Win 1997

Increasing use of within-school assessments under the new Code of Practice might therefore divert resources away from the neediest. (SK)
